president carter signed the bill into law in 1978. it was the law of the land for more than 20 years, until it got amended under president george w. bush. you might remember this. a patriot act and a number of other congressional acts vastly diminished fisa's privacy protections and expanded the goth's ability to spy on you and on me and all americans to tap our phones and read our e-mails. and in the end, you would probably never even know they were doing it. and we as a country, at that time, we had a huge fight about it. it was a major issue in the 2004 presidential campaign when president bush and john kerry. in the 2008 democratic primary, then senators clinton and obama, they fought about it. they even ended up voting on opposite sides of the issue when it came up for a vote that summer. fisa, and whether or not we already have a government with too much power to spy on us, whether or not there should be more congressional and judicial oversight of that power, whether or not more should be done to protect people's privacy, our c

but compared to the previous years, many fewer pieces of legislation were passed into law. these numbers are just out today from the guttmacher institute. and it's not the only reason. these are multivaried things. but the folks at guttmacher say part of the drop between 2011 and 2012 for the anti-abortion measures was because of opposition, because of the outrage, the furor, the pushback, the national ridicule, the national attention and pressure that these republican efforts attracted this past year in 2012. that they didn't attract in 2011. so what's 2013 going to be like? is it going to be outrage or no outrage? is the pushback against the republican anti-abortion agenda last year, is that, forgive the pun, a reproducible phenomenon? did this just happen because democrats saw it as a way to reach women voters in election year? is the opposition that helped drive down those numbers in 2012 and that ruined bob mcdonnell's 2012, does that opposition still exist? will that opposition hold together to fight whatever new anti-abortion measures are on the horizon this year tha

under the terms, however, of the affordable care act, which is now the law of the land, beginning on january 1st mr. green has to provide that coverage. he does not have a choice. so he sued. quoting mr. green, "we simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate." supreme court justice sonia sotomayor has weighed in on the case yesterday. she declined mr. green's right to decline emergency coverage to their employees. she said they failed to prove their case. a lower court already ruled against hobby lobby by pointing out that while churches and other institutions do not have to provide birth control if it violates their beliefs a for-profit arts and crafts store, no matter how religious the father, is not a church or religious organization. so no, you can't tell your employees what kind of contraception they may get through their insurance. so that happened. it is another legal victory for the affordable care act at the supreme court. it didn't get as much attention as the last time the court ruled on obamacare, but it's a big deal. it's one more thing the bi

if that law takes effect again in 2013, the government will be forced to pay double what it currently pays for milk. for a short time it will be awesome for dairy farmers, they can sell as much milk as they can to make a ton of money. even dairy farmers know that the windfall will be bad news real quick. the government run on milk will lead to shortages for people who buy milk at the grocery store or buy it to make dairy products like cheese and pizza. americans love their pizza. it would drive up prices by as much as double. that would make a gallon of milk more than $7 while i can handle my soy milk, i don't want it all the time. christmas is not about the farm bill, but new year's, you are going to want to be thinking about the farm bill over new year's. >>> on christmas, one day after a man in new york set the house he lived in with his sister on fire, the local police chief announced the gunman's sister is likely a third victim of homicide. we knew the gunman's sister was missing, she and the gunman lived in the house together were not on good terms. their mother lived there too
